WGN America's 'Outsiders': Ryan Hurst, David Morse Trailer Sets January Premiere Date!

WGN America announced the January 2016 premiere date for their upcoming new drama, Outsiders. In its latest trailer, check out the ensemble cast featuring David Morse (Treme), Ryan Hurst (Sons of Anarchy), and Kyle Gallner (Veronica Mars).

According to the plot synopsis of the 13 episode, 1 hour drama, the Outsiders takes place high in the vast Appalachian Mountains. The wild and criminal Farrell Clan is pitted against the outside world, which is even more corrupt then they are. The Farrell Clan happens to be a close-knit family, who have spent 200 years surviving on Shay Mountain. The Clan is up against a group of money-making investors and a small town looking to move them out as they expand.

Big Foster (David Morse), leader of the Farrells, refuses to let that happen. Asa (Joe Anderson) is a member of the Farrell clan looking to rejoin the family after a stint on the outside. Lil Foster (Ryan Hurst) is a massive mountain man and the son of Big Foster.

The ensemble cast includes David Morse, Thomas M. Wright, Ryan Hurst, Joe Anderson, Gillian Alexy, Kyle Gallner, Christina Jackson, Francie Swift and Phyllis Somerville. Creator-writer Peter Mattei also serves as executive producer alongside Peter Tolan, Paul Giamatti, Dan Carey and Michael Wimer.

According to Zap2it, the Sons of Anarchy actor finds himself in new terrain. "Hurst should feel right at home in his new surroundings, as his trademark beard went nowhere and he's traded in his motorcycle for a quad as part of the Farrell Clan."

As Yahoo TV reports, Emmy Award-winning director Adam Bernstein (Fargo) will direct two episodes. This is WGN America's fourth original series after Salem and the Emmy-winning Manhattan, and the upcoming Underground.

Outsiders premieres Tuesday, January 26, at 9pm on WGN America.
